“I Still Want to Live in This Country”: Modi Joke Explodes

Taapsee Pannu is currently promoting her upcoming film Assi, which is described as a thought provoking film addressing important social issues. During a recent promotional interaction, one of her remarks triggered political discussion online.

A clip from a television interview featuring Taapsee Pannu began circulating widely on social media. In the video, the anchor asks the actress to choose her favourite politician between Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi.

Taapsee Pannu appears to name Prime Minister Narendra Modi. However, what drew attention was her follow up remark that she still wants to live in the country after naming him.

Some social media users described the moment as humorous or sarcastic. The clip was widely shared with memes, reactions, and political commentary across platforms.

Others questioned the context of the exchange and whether the statement was made in jest. The lack of the full interview video has added to the confusion around the remark.

A few users speculated that the statement could lead to calls for a boycott from certain groups. At the same time, others interpreted the comment as a bold expression of opinion.

The viral clip has been linked online to TV9 Bharatvarsh. However, the timing and full context of the interview are still unclear.

So far, there has been no official clarification from Taapsee Pannu or the channel regarding the viral video. The discussion continues across social media platforms.

Despite promoting a film focused on serious themes, the conversation around the viral remark has overshadowed the film’s promotions. It remains to be seen how this controversy may affect the film’s reception.
